What's Happening on the Daytona Beach Campus?

When they’re not in the air or the lab, you can find our students kicking back in the gaming lounge at the Mori Hosseini Student Union, checking out a group fitness class at the new Fitness Complex, grabbing a bite to eat at the In Flight Late Night Café or meeting friends at one our many exciting campus events.

Things to Do Around Campus

“I would definitely say campus is known for a lot of outdoor activities like beach hangouts, sand volleyball, bonfires and cookouts,” said Jodie Harmon (’21), an Aviation Business Administration major. On-campus, New Residence Halls 1 and 2 provide students with a place to hang out with friends on the courtyard, get active on the basketball and sand volleyball courts, chill in the hammocks, cook on BBQ grills and much more!

Each November, Embry‑Riddle students, staff, faculty and alumni celebrate Homecoming with a weekend chock-full of activities and events including a Homecoming block party, a Farmers Market on the Student Union Lawn, a food truck festival and the ultimate Homecoming Concert with fireworks.

Something for Everyone

However, you don’t need to wait until the fall for fun at Embry‑Riddle. Each semester, students can participate in various events; with options to support or join over 240 student organizations. From the Gamers Guild to Greek Life to the Mountain Biking Club, there is something out there that aligns with the niche (or popular) interests of every student.

On top of this, Embry‑Riddle students can attend many regularly scheduled events by Touch-N-Go Productions. Whether it’s trying your luck at winning big on Casino Night, enjoying Thursday Night Movies on the Quad lawn, thinking outside the box to free yourself in escape rooms or being on the edge of your seat at The Comedy Magic Stunt Show Spectacular – there is always something to do!

"Attending campus events is a fantastic way to meet new people and have some fun in between Embry‑Riddle's rigorous course load,” said Bradley Zweir (’23), who serves as the Chairperson of Touch-N-Go Productions and is currently earning his B.S. in Spaceflight Operations. “Most events on campus are free, and with such a great variety, there's something for everyone to enjoy!"

Traditions of Excellence

If academic events are more your style, Embry‑Riddle often hosts guests for the Presidential Speaker Series. There, industry leaders, prominent alumni and researchers with heavy credentials take part in 90-minute interviews, moderated by a qualified student. These events are a great way for students to grow their understanding of current technologies and successful leadership, as well as an opportunity to peer into the minds of those who have excelled in their career and academia.

One of our favorite annual traditions on-campus? Blue & Gold Week of course! Every March, students, faculty and staff gather for an exciting week of events and activities to celebrate the spirit and pride of Embry‑Riddle. The festivities begin with a carnival and continue throughout the week with games, contests, parties, live performances and so much more.
